Pepy II Neferkare (jan 2, 2181 BC – jan 1, 2127 BC)
Description:
EGYPTIAN CHRONOLOGY THROUGH ASTRONOMICALLY DATED SYNCHRONISMS by Gerard GertouxPepy II (6:5). This reign is 94 years (Man) or 9[x] (TC). According to the number of censuses it must be greater than 52 years (= 31.5x1.6 + 1). The 33 censuses are uncertain (Baud: 2006, 152-156), but they would correspond to a 54-year reign (= 33.5x1.6). The 94-year reign, which is 28 years longer than that of Ramses II (66 years), the longest known reign in Egyptian history, must therefore be corrected.
